The Great Wooden Duomo Mystery--Part II

Buster wants to know...

WHO built the fabulous wooden duomo?



One must give some SERIOUS thought to this!

Roman Army Engineers?

Toltec Mound Builders?

A solitary pleisiosaur left over from the Late Jurassic?

Filippo Brunelleschi ??

Wally Cleaver's brother?

Enquiring Schnozzles want to know !!




WHO could it be???

theBUSTER leaves, again, on another journey....... searching for the duomo!!!

Hi to all my blog buddies.. I must leave TO GO IN SEARCH of the "makers of
the duomo" --------> I've got some good ideas tell you alllllll about it.
I shall return!
LATER!


POOF!


theBUSTER

Buster & Bailey Return to Camp

In Which theBuster and Bailey Are Reunited With The Fauna of Their Pond and Meet Some New Friends....the term "travel lightly"
is NOT part of the equation.

Ms. Blue has arrived, surrounded by her "beach bag" containing much "stuff" to occupy the Queen B for at least 30 milliseconds.

theBUSTER on the other hand gets to be surrounded by bags of food and more food and some clothes -- who needs cloths at the cottage???
Us Blue Dogs certainly do not...we travel oh so very lightly....
Notice theBUSTER is wearing the latest in doggie seat belts (his perfectly fitted "roadie") to protect him from the human driver's sharp turns on the N.H. roads....

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh--------->
the LAKE!!!!!
HI HONEY,
I'M HOME!

Goody-goody-goody...the little SS TooT, paddle boat for the dogs, is in the water ready to be fired up, so we can peruse the lake <------------I'm ready....... aye, aye, Captain-sir, ready to peruse! Ooopsy....the Captain is a m'aam, my mom, Ms. Blue, is the Captain of this ship...

Of course there is the "human lackey", who powers it...
---------------->Sort of like having a bunch of chipmunks in a wheel<--------------

Ahoy matey...ar ar ar. There's something off the bow! Hey! who are you??????
Reveal yourselves -- or prepare to take on fire, you slimey-wet-builders-of-wood-duomos*...
Buster! load the water cannon!! These SWBOWD* are not responding!! We need to take action!! This is our lake, after all!
.ahem.

Hey Hey Hey... are you responsible for that Duomo of the lake???
PLOP!

"We need to get to the bottom of this Situation".... sez the Captain, "....reverse them thar screws we've gots to go back".
Hey blog buddies, she didn't go to midshipmen's school...
she watches Johnny Dep movies <------------HAH! and an ar ar too.

O.K....we're back on terra firma....standing here wondering what the heck the "Captain" has in mind...
Notice the puffy white clouds in the water <-----------that's when you know it's a lovely clear day at the lake.

Oh heck... we're back on the SS TooT........ still searching for the creator of the wooden duomo!
Aye Aye M'aam, I am searching with my eagle eye <------don't have opposable thumbs so I can't Possibly Hold A Glass in my PAW! m'aam.

Hi, excuse me, Little Purple Finch....did you make that duomo?????
Kinda of reminds me of an upside-down nest.

Hi little hummingbird... do you know who made that wooden duomo in the Lake?????

Ok...
Maybe these itty bitty guys know something <-----there are enough of them.... LOOK CLOSELY! Do you see the ground jumping???? Lackey...hold one of those little guys up to my nose...
Hey little guy ----------> do you know who made that wooden duomo??

No Luck.....


How about all of you? Don't suppose you know anything about a wooden duomo
that just appeared in the past coupla days????
hmmmmmmribbit ribbit ribbit....
Hey anyone out there know how to speak frog?

MA!!!! do you know who built that wooden duomo???
"bah ram ewe"
Nope that doesn't seem to work.

Well I'm tired...it's time for bed. I've got my ball and I'm ready to
sign off <---------------don't worry folks.. I will solve this mystery, soon. Ms. Blue sez she thinks she may know someone else on the lake that will crumble under pressure, and tell us
WHO MADE THE WOODEN DUOMO.
theBUSTER & Ms. Blue signing off for now.
Wait for the next installment of:

Back to the Pond!

Hi, blogbuddies!

Buster, at your service, with GREAT NEWS!


Dad and Grandma went North on a grand expedition to my FAVORITE PLACE in the entire universe: THE POND !

Once again, it's time to get the little cottage ready, so I can swim and ride the paddleboat with Mom, and harrass Alvin the Chipmunk's New Hampshire relatives.


We found it just as we left it last autumn. Quiet, serene, and inviting. The water was full of tadpoles, and a new hatch of dragonflies was hovering just above the surface.


The lawn was full of orange hawkweed--a lot prettier than its name!


The blueberry bushes were full of ripening fruit! It'll be a great crop this year if the bears don't get them first! This COULD be a problem--Dad found bear scat in the front yard under one of the blueberry bushes.


And, of course, les petites fraises des bois were everywhere! Veronique suggests serving them with Chantilly. IF the bears do not eat them first.


Dad had to hook up the paleolithic MONSTER PUMP to supply the cottage with water. The pond is spring-fed, so the water's crystal-clear. After a long series of Druidic incantations, the pump came to life.

Unfortunately, it's BLACK FLY season in the North country! Grandma stayed indoors, and Dad cut the lawn, emerging bloody but unbowed.


So the place is just about ready to host the weekend BUSTERWORLD theme-park. I'm looking forward to this! Maybe next weekend, Mom will take me up and we'll take a swim!

Cheers,

theBUSTER

The Apocalyptic Invasion of the Visigoth Chipmunks, or "Les écureuils lunatiques nous tourmentent !"

Once again, there is a disturbance in the Force!

Alvin and his evil henchmen from the Chipmunk Death Star have attacked the peace-loving inhabitants of Planet Buster.

An urgent call for assistance has been sent out to the Federation.



They appear cute and fuzzy. Don't be misled! These creatures do unspeakable things.

Like this!

Yes, friends, that WAS my driveway! The entrance to my home universe! The abhorrent creatures had established a network of tunnels so extensive that two gallons of sand were required to fill it up.

Buster, the Wonder Dog, to the rescue!



First, the sand and the water...



Looks rather like crepes...



Then, the magic "gunk!"



Okay, this is starting to look better...



And finally, we'll keep those stupid humans from stepping on the repair job by putting the Official Buster Tush-Cooler on top of it!



Now, if only I could catch the little guys and rip their jugulars out!


But Alvin mocks me!

Maybe tomorrow...just wait! I'm sharpening my teeth as we speak and rallying the gurlie forces to come and assist.....
